==Facilities==

==Operations==
===Terminal===
The terminal has no [[jet bridge|jet bridges]]: instead, mobile stairs are used for boarding large aircraft that don't have their own [[Airstair|airstairs]]. The airport can handle aircraft up to the size of a [[Boeing 767]]. In February 2017, it was announced that the current passenger terminal, which was inaugurated for the [[1964 Winter Olympics]] will be replaced with a new, larger facility which started construction in 2019.<ref>[http://www.austrianaviation.net/detail/flughafen-innsbruck-startet-architekturwettbewerb/ austrianaviation.net - "Innsbruck Airport starts architecture competition"] 21 February 2017</ref>

===Special approach procedures===
Innsbruck Airport is well known for having a difficult approach due to surrounding terrain, prohibiting certain aircraft types from operating at the airport.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.austrocontrol.at/content/lfa/Flugbewilligungen/Special_Performance_Procedures/LOWI/LOWI.shtml|title=|website=www.austrocontrol.at}}</ref> The approach and descent is a very complicated process—the Alps create vicious winds and currents, which pilots have to deal with throughout the process. It is a Category C airport, an airport with special difficulties requiring pilots to have special training before using it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.airfieldcharts.com/airportcategorisation.htm|title=Airport Categorisation|website=www.airfieldcharts.com}}</ref>

Statistics[1]

Innsbruck Airport (IATA: INN, ICAO: LOWI), also known locally as Kranebitten Airport, is the largest international airport in Tyrol in western Austria. It is located approximately 4 kilometres (2+1⁄2 mi) from the centre of Innsbruck.

The airport, which was opened in 1925,[2] handles regional flights around the Alps, as well as seasonal international traffic to further European destinations. During the winter, activity increases significantly, due to the high number of skiers travelling to the region.

Operations

Terminal

The terminal has no jet bridges: instead, mobile stairs are used for boarding large aircraft that don't have their own airstairs. The airport can handle aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 767. In February 2017, it was announced that the current passenger terminal, which was inaugurated for the 1964 Winter Olympics will be replaced with a new, larger facility which started construction in 2019.[3]

Special approach procedures

Innsbruck Airport is well known for having a difficult approach due to surrounding terrain, prohibiting certain aircraft types from operating at the airport.[4] The approach and descent is a very complicated process—the Alps create vicious winds and currents, which pilots have to deal with throughout the process. It is a Category C airport, an airport with special difficulties requiring pilots to have special training before using it.[5] Approach or ascent over the eastern end of the runway goes over the inner city at fairly low altitude.

Tenants

Innsbruck Airport served as the base of Tyrolean Airways and Welcome Air until their demise, although the newly established independent technical division Tyrolean Airways Luftfahrzeuge Technik GmbH remains here.[6] Innsbruck also used to accommodate the head offices of Air Alps.[7]
